Fact: The Time Brad Pitt Scared George Clooney Half to Death — with a Toy
Their prank war made Ocean’s Eleven even more iconic.
Okay, so here’s one of my favourite behind-the-scenes moments from Ocean’s Eleven — and it’s all about Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s legendary prank wars. You know, these two were not just co-stars but proper partners in crime off-camera too.
Picture this: during the shoot, Brad decided to sneak a super realistic rubber snake into George’s desk drawer. And I mean realistic — this thing looked like it could slither right off the page.
When George came back and opened his drawer, the snake popped out, and he literally jumped back in shock! I swear, the reaction was priceless — total mix of genuine fright followed by uncontrollable laughter.
The whole crew was nearby and burst out laughing too, making the set feel way more relaxed amid all the pressure. Brad later said these silly pranks were his secret weapon to keep things light and fun during intense shooting days.
And George? Oh, he totally promised to get back at Brad — which only added to the good vibes on set.
Honestly, moments like these make me love Ocean’s Eleven even more. It’s not just a heist flick — it’s a story about real friendship and laughter behind the scenes. What’s your favourite on-set prank from any movie you know? Drop your stories below!
